MARCH 3 • 2022 | 23 nament this year. Close friends Aaron Adler and Avi Selesny of Southfield are this year’s tournament co-commissioners. Each plays on the Farber basketball team. Being friends has been a big help for the co-commissioners. “ Aaron and I see each other a lot, so we’ve been able to talk a lot about the tournament, ” Selesny said. “Because we’re friends, we can say something is a good idea or bad idea to each other. We work together. ” Adler, a senior, was in charge of the tournament booklet and helped with fund- raising when he was a sopho- more. Selesny is a junior. He was one of the tournament game public address announcers when he was a freshman. It hasn’t been easy to restart the tournament amidst ever-changing COVID-19 mandates and mitigations and a pandemic that drags on. Planning for the tourna- ment began in December, later than usual. “ Arranging for housing for the visiting players and coach- es has been a big challenge because of COVID,” Selesny said. “Some families aren’t comfortable these days having visitors stay with them.” Adler said, “We’ve had to remember how things were done in the past and do those things the same way, only better.” Also on the Farber bas- ketball team besides Adler and Selesny are Ari Schon, Jonathan Kornblum, Joey Goldman, Yishai Hyman, Yisrael Attali, Joseph Winer, Yona Benjamin, Ziv Digadker, Micah Adler and Benji Gardin. Jason Hollis is the team’s coach. Joel Lewis II is the assistant coach. All six teams in the tourna- ment represent a high school with less than 100 students. Each of the visiting teams previously played in the tour- nament. Joining Farber in the tour- nament field this week are two-time defending cham- pion Fuchs-Mizrachi School from Cleveland, Atlanta Jewish Academy, Columbus Torah Academy, Denver Academy of Torah and Hillel Academy of Pittsburgh. The tournament schedule is posted on the Farber and tour- nament Facebook pages. Each team will play three games before the playoffs Sunday. The tournament cham- pionship game will be at 1:15 p.m. Thanks to tournament spon- sors, admission to games is free. Masks are required for all spectators. For those who can’t make it to Farber for the tournament or have concerns about being in a crowd, games will be live- streamed on the tournament’s YouTube channel. Farber is at 21100 W . 12 Mile Road. “PLAYERS HAVE A CHANCE TO BROADEN THEIR HORIZONS IN A POSITIVE ENVIRONMENT.” — JOSH LEVISOHN SERVING THE JEWISH COMMUNITY FOR OVER 30 YEARS! 4130 Telegraph Rd.
